them: socialism/communism is great in theory, too bad it can never be applied irl without mass murder or fascism

me, looking right into the camera:

@edotjpg same people can't see how capitalism participates in mass murder and fascism just as much, if not more.
@MilesBJordan the funny [read: tragically ironic] thing about their statement is that they fail to see how capitalism not only finds economic viability in making people suffer to create demand, but also directly acts as a major cause of struggle in socialist states by implementing imperialist action towards them. i don't remember the exact numbers by heart, but i could argue that capitalist imperialism is historically responsible for more worldwide deaths than any socialist state to ever exist
@edotjpg I would absolutely argue that. Capitalist imperialism is probably the most evil thing in human history.
